Download Materials for CAE Applications
Download the simulation-ready files to your local workstation and save the file to My Files location in Altair Drive.
To download a CAE file:
-
Select a material.
The Info tab displays general information about the selected material.
-
Click CAE Model.
The CAE Model tab is displayed.
-
Select the solver or CAE application name from the Select
Software list.
AMDC provides wide number of solvers and applications, the following table provides the list of software and material models:

-
For non-linear material cards, AMDC allows you the option to select the curve
data to be exported at various temperatures or strain rates.
-
Select the required unit system from the Select Unit
list.
A preview of CAE material data is available to view. By default, the preview is collapsed, click to preview the CAE Card details.Note: Use full screen to preview the text data.
-
Select Include generic data to view generic data for the
missing material properties.
With the generic data, the CAE Model options Software and Model are extended. AMDC provides generic data from the same class of materials.
-
From the Select Model list, select the additional value
MatS1(ABS) to view the generic data.
The additional material properties data, chart data, and a text preview of the CAE Material card are displayed.
You can modify the generic data to analyze the material details.
Hover over the plot area to view chart options such as zoom in, zoom out, auto scale to original chart view, reset axes, and export it as a PDF document.
-
Enter an identification number for the material in
Material Id.
Note: Use the arrow keys to select a number. By default, the material id is 1000.
-
Click Download.
The CAE Model is downloaded to your personalized download location on your local workstation.Note: You can encrypt the CAE file data before downloading it for OptiStruct and Radioss Solvers.
-
Click Save to Drive.
A notification is displayed: Downloading Success! Open file location.
-
Click the Open file location link in the notification.
The CAE model files that are saved under the My Files location in Altair Drive will be launched in a new tab.
